Lost Tales (The War of Wrath) Lyrics

Album: Gondolin

The War of Wrath has come

ruins dull under the sun

revenge of the Elven high

Dragon slayer Tuor's son

Sails raised high and proud

cries of battle have sound

the grand Mountains tremble

Ancalagon's death shakes the ground

Glorfindel's steel shines bright

bane of the Balrog in the light

standing tall in the mists

fell the demon with true might

the War of Wrath rages on

story told in longing song

banish Morgoth from the land

reclaim the earth where they belong

blood runs deep across the stone

veil of smoke from burning tome

clash of kin and mighty monsters

aid from Aman they're not alone

Victory is won but bittersweet

the survivors in shadow meet

taking refuge in ships and vallyes

new home of Numenor soon complete

the tale is told to the elven-kin

a tragedy but yet they still win

so the young may not forget

the treachery of those within

betrayal by the Thim-Dullins

blood against blood in the halls

sun choked by the acrid smoke

the story told for time all

Victory is won but bittersweet

the survivors in shadow meet

taking refuge in ships and vallyes

new home of Numenor soon complete

the tale is told to the elven-kin

a tragedy but yet they still win

so the young may not forget

the treachery of those within

betrayal by the Thim-Dullins

blood against blood in the halls

sun choked by the acrid smoke

the story told for time all

the War of Wrath rages on

story told in longing song
